Acoustic Foam
At Advanced Seals and Gaskets Ltd (ASG), we specialise in the design and manufacture of high-quality Class ‘O’ Acoustic Polyurethane Foam products, widely recognised as one of the most effective solutions for fire safety and sound control.
Several other names, including Acoustic Foam, Fireseal, Impregnated Polyurethane, Non-Flammable Acoustic Foam, and Pyrosorb, are also known as class O foam. It is specifically engineered to prevent flames from spreading in the event of a fire while simultaneously reducing the heat released by burning surfaces.
Under British Building Regulations, Class O foam offers the highest level of fire protection, making it an ideal material for demanding environments. This specin foam is used across a wide variety of applications, such as acoustic enclosures, air conditioning systems, acoustic wall panels, generator rooms, and engine bay compartments.
Durable, flexible, and irritation-free, Class O Acoustic Foam is both safe and easy to use, providing reliable long-term performance.
Acoustic Foam – Key Attributes
The standout properties of Class O Acoustic Foam include:

Uses of Acoustic Foam
Our experienced in-house team can deliver custom-made acoustic foam solutions designed around your exact requirements. Whether you need soundproofing for studios, insulation for construction projects, or automotive acoustic solutions, we provide tailored products that precisely meet your needs.
Common uses for acoustic foam include:
- Studios – customised shapes and sizes for recording and performance environments
- Air conditioning units – specialised solutions for reducing noise from standalone AC systems
- Engine protection – fire-retardant and vibration-resistant insulation for automotive and rail applications
- Suspended absorbers – acoustic panels to control echoes in large venues such as cinemas, theatres, schools, and exhibition halls.
- Construction projects – foam installed within cavity walls for both soundproofing and thermal insulation
How Soundproof Foam Works
Sound is created by vibrations, with sound waves travelling through air, water, and solid materials. This allows noise to pass easily through walls or surfaces – for example, enabling conversations to be heard from an adjoining room.
Acoustic foam works by absorbing these vibrations, deadening the sound and preventing noise transfer. Its combination of solid material and open air cells creates resistance, significantly reducing sound transmission.
At ASG, our acoustic foam is manufactured from polyurethane and melamine foams, both of which feature an open-cell structure that enhances air resistance for superior noise control. Thanks to our advanced processing techniques, we can deliver the highest standards of soundproofing foam for a wide range of industries.
